The Rockliff Liberal Government is pleased to announce the reappointment of the Chair of the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority as well as the appointment of a new Director.
Mr Grant O'Brien has served as Chair of the Authority since 2019, leading the Government Business Enterprise through the challenging impacts of COVID.
Mr O'Brien has been re-appointed for a further term of two years to enable the Board to continue to guide the organisation through the post-COVID recovery stage.
Mr Richard Mulvaney has been appointed to the Authority's Board as a new non-executive Director to replace the Hon Peter McKay whose tenure has expired.
